[Verse] The secret things belong to God, he keeps his counsel still; But what he shows he shows abroad, and shows it when he will. He hid his wisdom in the deep and set a seal above; Not to deny, but safe to keep the treasure of his love. [Chorus] The sealed and secret things are told, the veil is drawn aside; The hidden Christ our eyes behold, in whom all treasures hide. [Verse] In Babylon the wise men failed, the dream lay past their art; But heaven's God, whose word prevailed, laid bare the monarch's heart. The heathen king pronounced it plain, and set the verdict down: Our God alone unseals again the thoughts of every crown. [Chorus] The sealed and secret things are told, the veil is drawn aside; The hidden Christ our eyes behold, in whom all treasures hide. [Verse] Great is the mystery of God, made manifest in flesh; He walked the ways our fathers trod and made the promise fresh. The Word that no man could have guessed lay hidden in the plan; And all the wisdom God possessed came walking as a man. [Chorus] The sealed and secret things are told, the veil is drawn aside; The hidden Christ our eyes behold, in whom all treasures hide. [Verse] He hid the kingdom in a field, a leaven in the meal; And what a parable concealed the Spirit would reveal. Two walked the road and could not see the Lord who walked beside; Their hearts were burning inwardly before their eyes were wide. [Chorus] The sealed and secret things are told, the veil is drawn aside; The hidden Christ our eyes behold, in whom all treasures hide. [Bridge] There is a secret works below and will not show its face; It came a serpent long ago and speaks in every place. [Verse] A woman sits in gold and red, a name upon her brow; A bride comes down in linen, led to keep her marriage vow. Two cities stand, two cups are poured, two names for men to wear; "Come out of her," declares the Lord, "and be not partners there." [Chorus] The sealed and secret things are told, the veil is drawn aside; The hidden Christ our eyes behold, in whom all treasures hide. [Bridge] It builds a city and a name, it lifts a golden cup; It wears the whiteness of the Lamb till God shall break it up. [Verse] So hold the mystery of faith in conscience clean and true; Be stewards of the word he saith until he makes all new. Now through a glass we darkly gaze, but then, unveiled, we see; And we shall all be changed, and praise the God of mystery. [Chorus] The sealed and secret things are told, the veil is drawn aside; The hidden Christ our eyes behold, in whom all treasures hide.
